Stucky Participates in Greening of the Indiana Memorial Union
The law firm of Bose McKinney & Evans LLP is pleased to announce that partner Natalie J. Stucky is participating in the Greening of the Indiana Memorial Union on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus.
The Greening eco-charrette will take place on Dec. 2-3 to look for ways to make the iconic structure more energy, water and resource effective while retaining its historic charm.
Patterned after other famous eco-charrettes, such as the Greening of the White House, the Greening of the Pentagon and the more recent Greening of the City County Building in Indianapolis, this charrette will be facilitated by national and local experts in collaboration with IMU and IU administration and staff. Because of its location and purpose, it will also include student participation.
The Greening of the IMU will be facilitated by Hellmuth+Bicknese LLC with the Leonardo Academy. Both firms helped write the LEED rating system. Sponsored by a grant from the Duke Energy Foundation, this charrette will explore cost-effective ways for the IMU to green its operations and maintenance processes using LEED for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance as a framework.
